Anisotropic cosmological models of Bianchi types III and V in Lyra's geometry

Abstract

Exact solutions to Einstein's equations are presented in vacuum and in the presence of stiff matter for spatially homogeneous cosmological models of Bianchi types type III and V in the normal gauge for Lyra's geometry. Solutions represent anisotropic cosmological universes which contract from infinite volume at the initial time singularity T=0 to zero volume as T→∞. Some physical properties of the models are also discussed. © 1992 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
